Use
iPrint with Personal Computers Off Campus

Double-Sided B&W Printing

In keeping
with the UNCW sustainability effort, all iPrint black-and-white
printing from UNCW computers will default to double-sided
printing (i.e., printing on both sides of a sheet
of paper). Each side is considered one page
(8 cents); therefore, one sheet (with two printed
pages) will cost 16 cents.

If you are required to print single-sided, simply
select the single-sided printer from the File/Printer
drop-down menu when submitting the document.

1.
How do I use iPrint in the computer labs, or print
wirelessly from the laptops in the Laptop Checkout
Program?

Step 1: Save your file.
We recommend that you save your print file to a flash drive
or your “Timmy File Server” folder or so that
you will have a backup in the event you need to retrieve
or reprint the file at a later date.

Step 2: Preview print.
Before sending a print request, use the “Print Preview”
option under the “File” pulldown menu to assure
that you print only the pages you desire. This is
very useful when printing pages from a website, as you
will be charged for the number of pages printed.

Step 4: Enter username.
Next, you will be asked to enter your username (which is
your UNCW e-mail address WITHOUT the “@uncw.edu”).

Step 5: Name your print job.
Enter a name for your print job in the space provided so
that you can locate it when you go to the release station
to release your print job. Make the name simple for easy
identification of your print job.

Step 6: Print or cancel.
After entering your information, select “Print”
or “Cancel.” Once you select “Print,”
your job will be available for 24 hours. After the 24-hour
period, your print file will be deleted.

Step 7: Go to an iPrint release station.
Go to any iPrint location on
campus to release your job. Only released jobs
will be deducted from your free prints or charged to your
Seahawk Buck$ account.

Step 8: (At the release
station)
Swipe your UNCW One Card.Swipe your UNCW One Card through the card reader. Your
card and free print balance amounts will be shown on
the display screen. (After all free prints have been
used, only the UNCW One Card balance will be displayed).

Step 9: Release your print job.
All of your print jobs will be listed. Select your
print job from the list; your print job can be identified
by the job name that you have chosen. After selecting the
print job(s), press the "Print" icon at the bottom
right of the screen. The cost of printing (or your free
prints) will be deducted from your UNCW One Card, and the
print job(s) will be sent to the printer.

You also have the option of deleting the job. Select the
job(s) and press the “Delete” icon at the bottom
right of the screen.

Note: The cost for each job is calculated prior to printing.
If sufficient funds are not available, an “Insufficient
Funds” message will be displayed, and the job will
not be processed. See the Frequently
Asked Questions section to review the easy options
for adding funds to your UNCW One Card.

2. How
do I print to iPrint printers / release stations from
my personal computer?

International Students: Please change your default paper size in any of your print applications to 8 1/2 x 11. European standard paper sizes (i.e., A4) will not work with iPrint.

In addition to using iPrint with your
personal computer while on campus, you can now use
iPrint with your personal computer while off campus.
For off-campus use, you must first connect to the UNCW
network with a VPN connection. Follow the VPN Instructions
at http://uncw.edu/ITSD/help/VPN.html.

IMPORTANT: Do not click on the driver link below until you have
reviewed the installation instructions above
and know which operating system is on your MAC; then choose the appropriate iPrint download.

Next, follow the steps for printing in the
computer labs as noted in Question
#1. However, when you print from
your personal computer you must select the iPrint printer
by going to File > Print and choosing the “iPrint” printer.
